Hello, I am a first year master's student in Finland. I recently discovered Ceph and have been getting acquainted with the concepts and the codebase. I noticed the blueprint http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/wiki/Osd_-_Tiering_II_(Warm-%3ECold) and I was wondering if there is a particular piece of it that would be suitable for this year's GSoC. I also noticed several other blueprints related to cache tiering, like http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/wiki/Improvement_on_the_cache_tiering_eviction suggesting improvements or other implementations like ARC. Would it make sense to enable some sort of cache plugins, similar to what was done with erasure code plugins, to allow different strategies for particular use cases and facilitate testing other implementations? If it makes sense and it could be scoped for GSoC I'd be very interested. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide on these subjects.
